0500 - Reached Nha Trang. The bus dropped us at the Nhi Phi Hotel and we didn't see the Sinh Tourist Office. We confirmed again with the bus driver. He said just wait there. Then I walked around, I saw the Sinh Tourist just near to the hotel which just separated by a corner.

Since the sky is still dark, I think we could see the sunrise. Hence, I walked to the beach and wait for it but can't see it as today is still cloudy. The monsoon changing still haven't ended.
Then we waited the bus at the Sinh Tourist. We get a wet tissues and a small water bottle again after checked in. The bus departure time was 7:30am. The bus is a seating bus type.
After bus departed, the route is flat along the way. The bus stop at a restaurant around 9:30am for 30-45 minutes breakfast. But we didn't get off as I continued sleep in the bus. While I was half awake, I heard that bus driver said that there need to wait for the road condition message first before they departed as they think might have landslide. However, the bus departed at 1030am.

Many waterfalls |
After that, the road is hilly and it was raining. Along the way, we saw a lot of waterfall just beside the road.
1200 - Reached Da Lat Sinh Tourist Office. We walked 1.6km to the Me Cung guesthouse that we booked at Booking.com. I was hard to find this guesthouse as it is at a small alley. Once, we reached the guesthouse, the lady just simple clean the room in front of us. We saw the floor is quite dirty. We requested her to sweep it but she refused and said that it was clean! We also saw that the bed is not that clean. She also wanted to keep a passport from two of us which is different from other accommodation way of doing. The motorbike rental is VND150k/day! Hence, we decided to cancel the room. It was lucky that the free cancellation at booking.com is before 2pm.

Me Cung Guesthouse Room! |
Then we had our lunch at the Lotteria first while finding another accomodation. We found another double room which is more expensive VND5k per day but the location is far a bit. It is still walkable distance. Once we reached the hostel, the man give us a two double beds with private bathroom room. This room was clean and furniture look new! At last, we can rest comfortably tonight after a 16 hours of bus journey!
